4 potential high-risk, high-reward free agent targets for Eagles

The Eagles’ limited salary cap space will force them to go bargain shopping if they choose to be active in free agency. The following is a list of players who, for various reasons, come with a substantial amount of risk, but whose talent could ultimately lead to success in Philadelphia.

Carlos Hyde – RB

Hyde played in all 16 games in a season for the first time in his career last year. He rushed for 938 yards and eight touchdowns while catching 59 passes for an additional 350 yards.

Hyde’s market will be intriguing, as teams looking for a No. 1 back should certainly have him on their radar. Hyde’s injury history could cause that market to fail to materialize early in the free agent signing period. That would give the Eagles an opportunity to swoop in and find a bargain later this month.

A pairing of Hyde and Jay Ajayi along with Corey Clement would be ferocious, once again cementing Philadelphia’s ground game near the top of the NFL.
